The Art of Shooting plays Rockwood on 10.07+ announce CMJ show

The Art of Shooting’s music presents the question: The lady or the tiger? The quartet’s melodramatic indie rock swings through a pendulum of extreme moods. Kelly Irene Corson’s voice can be deceptively sweet in one instance and then become rough in the next with the rest of the band following suit. This is most evident in “The Birdcage,” which volleys through this juxtaposition with ease. The band evokes comparisons to Rainer Maria and Bettie Serveert for their strong female frontwomen that can play both the lady and the tiger cards without batting a lash. It will be interesting to see this eminently electric band play an intimate (acoustic?) set at Rockwood Music Hall on 10.07. You can also catch them at CMJ on 10.19 at The Alphabet Lounge. – Nancy Chow
